    When your time permits, list 'all' your systems components, OS etc., including PSU +12V amps on the rail(s).

    cannot even get it to post at 3.6ghz with manual voltage increases in all things, and auto doesnt help, is this normal?
    Yes, when it isn't necessary to do "increases in all things".

    Im not very confident with doing the ioh mod but im getting 90 degrees with no overclock
    The addition of a fan to direct air flow at the IOH, will reduce the temp. The Antec Spot Cool works well for this. Aftermarket CPU coolers have taken away the engineered passive air flow the stock cooler provides (presuming you are not using the stock cooler). 90c is in spec, so RMA solely upon that is doubtful. Again, when time permits, include what OC goals you are looking for as well. Most OC'ing takes time, patience, & trial & error.

    Update
    The issue has become less consistent, i.e. at times, it has appeared before booting the kernel AND, at other times, it has failed to appear after booting--for about 10 minutes, only to come back then.  Hard to know what sets it off.
    Upon further research, I have found many owners of the MSI GE60 laptop experiencing same problem (there are video clips on youtube of users documenting it--it is exactly the same issue) so this looks like a bug specific to the MSI GE60.
    It is related to fan tables/temperatures in the EC (Embedded Controller) and MSI has finally come up with an updated version of the EC in the BIOS to fix it.  I did the update (of the EC only, not full BIOS) and so far so good.  I will wait a couple of days to make sure it is (and stays) fixed and mark this thread as solved.  (It now looks like the thread should have been posted to the "Laptop Issues" forum as opposed to Kernel.)

    Disable Spread Spectrum & Extreme Memory Profile in bios Cell Menu. Disable Overspeed Protection in bios Advance Bios Features-CPU Features. Since RAM speed increase with base clock increases, you will have to 'experiment again to get the RAM stable. Set Mem. Ratio to 5, Uncore Ratio to 12, adjust DRAM,  voltage & timings accordingly, set base clock to 166 or 167, leave all voltages (other than your RAM), on default. This should give you around 1660 RAM speed & 3.33G's, with Turbo, around 3.5G's .

  • Help overclocking MSI X58 Pro-E with a i7 920 co stepping

    Good evening everyone, I would like some help with getting the best overclock I can with my rig. This is what I have: Msi X58 Pro-E, Intel core i7 920 co stepping, Corsair Hydro H50 cooler, 3 x 2 gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 c9, EVGA GTX260-216 SC 896mb, 1 TB Western Digital 32cache Hard drive SATA, Lite-on DVD/RW with Lightscribe, OCZ Stealthxstream 600 watt PSU.  Running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz. I can use all the help I can get. From what I have read it should overclock fairly well.  Thanks for your help John

    Using CPU-Z? If so, 500x2=1000. For a simple OC without having to do much of anything, change bclk to 166/167. Be sure to disable Spread Spectrum in bios Cell Menu. Go up from there until it fails to post. Add a step or two of CPU voltage & check for post again. At some point, RAM speed becomes a factor, & other voltages & settings join in the mix. Primarily, the main items involved are bclk, CPU & RAM voltage, QPI voltage sometimes at some point, RAM timings, Memory & Uncore Ratios. Other than that, disable Overspeed Protection, C-State, Turbo on or off, EIST on or off. Most important, know the operating temp & voltage limits.

  • Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

    Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
    Heres the brand new parts;
    MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
    i7 920
    Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
    eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
    Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
    Im going to re-use this stuff:
    2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
    Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
    DVD RW
    Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
    SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
    So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
    Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
    I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
    Thank you for any help!
    Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

    Yes, why not?
    Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage.  4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

    There's only one way to overclock - overclock...   There is no safe way of doing it...

    The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU.  (The i7 965, for example.)  It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
    With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

    Extremely doubtful.
    I hope I've answered your questions.   I can be more thorough if you wish to know more.  Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

  • Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

     Hi,
    This is my first post in this forum.
    I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
    Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
    I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
    Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
    I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
    I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
    What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Paulo
    My System:
        Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1

        RAM: OCZ3G1333LV6GK (6GB)
        Video: Sapphire Vapor-X ATI RAdeon HD 4870 2GB
        PSU: Combat Power CP 750W
        OS: Windows 7 32 & 64 bits

    Hi Henry,
    Thanks for the help.
    "What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
    I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
    "Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
    I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
    I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
    Regards,
    Paulo

  • MSI X58 Pro - Latest Chipset Driver

    Hi,
    Off and on I get an ATAPI error on Windows 7 x64. I'm running a i7 920 on my MSI X58 Pro (NOT the Pro E version).
    The symptoms are simple, booting into Windows load screen I get my hard drive light lit up non stop and nothing loads. I'm not sure if its trashing as I'm using an SSD. I've run HD Tune to test all my drives are they have reported them to be fine.
    I'll like to update the chipset drivers as a step to solve my problem
    The one on the official page shows:
    Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers Ver: 9.1.2.1008
    Release Date: 2010-07-30
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
    This is the one I am using now.
    I went to Intel's website and found an more updated one:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) Ver: 9.3.0.1019
    Release Date: 2011-11-27
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3061&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+X58+Express+Chipset&lang=eng
    My question is simple: Should I update my drivers to the one on the Intel site or stick with MSI's one?
    Also note that the MSI Pro has been discontinued and I'm not sure if the Pro x58 product page is updated.

    If the updates didn't help, to further assist with troubleshooting, a list of all your systems components will be needed. Don't forget to give details of the RAM & the PSU, especially the amps on the +12V rail(s).

  • MSI X58 Pro with Matrox M9120 PCIe x16, no signal on LCD

    I have a Matrox M9120 PCIe x16 attached to EIZO ColorEdge CG19.
    In recent days, when I turn on my computer, the CG19 is blank and shows no signal.
    I try to replace a new power cord and signal wire, but in vain.
    Strangely, after I reset or turn on/off the computer several times, the problem is solved.
    I return my CG19 to EIZO for test, they say CG19 is ok.
    I try to plug M9120 to another PCIe slot on MSI X58 Pro, the problem is the same.
    I try to plug M9120 to Intel D975XBX2, M9120 works well.
    I try to plug an ATI card to both PCIe slots on MSI X58 Pro, ATI card works well.
    Any suggestion for me?

  • MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 950, first time overclocking

    Hello,
    It's the first time I'll try overclocking. My config is
    Board: MSI X58 PRO-E (MS-7522) 3.0
    Bios: Version 8.15
    VGA: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770
    PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 600W

    SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120Go
    COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
    OS: Windows 8.1 x64
    Could you help me to choose what to change in the BIOS ?
    Thank you !

    CPU Vcore is 1.264V and sometimes it jumps to 1.272V
    In BIOS, left to "auto" where you set VCore?
    Have you found the reason or a solution for high temps?
    According to Intel website, Tcase max is 67.9c, this means core temps should be around 70c no more, you will need them at 50-55c at stock to be able to overclock.

  • Upgrading the BIOS on an MSI x58 Pro

    My Mum's Cyberpower i7-920 machine with MSI x58 Pro motherboard periodically fails to boot with the error that there is no boot device.
    I figured out a few hacks/workarounds for this, but as it is my Mum's machine, and I'm not always around to help out, I need a better solution.
    I posted on the Cyberpower forums and they said: 'Upgrading to the latest BIOS can sometime cure niggly problems lke this on MSI boards.'
    As I have never needed to mess around much with the BIOS before, I would like to get some input here as to what people think of this suggestion. Also what is the latest version of the BIOS for the MSI x58 Pro? Any recommendations on the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks very much.

    Okay, in that case a BIOS Update is probably worth a shot.  As said before, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and take the latest BIOS Version from this site:  http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1744  [v8.D].

    If you turn EIST off you should be able to put the multiplier to a specific number between 12 and 21 (or higher if you have an unlocked Extreme CPU) and that is where it will stay.
    I believe that is exactly what i did, i disabled EIST, C1E and set multiplier to 21, however, when i run a stability test(Prime95 or Linx) it always drops the multiplier down from 21x to 20x.
    It seems to me turbo mode is still working when it is supposed to be disabled when you set multiplier to 21(or maybe it is just simply won't allow x21 multiplier to be used at full load anyway, turbo mode on or off).
    Quote
    Very good point Jack. There you go ravescar & others, give that a try & see if it makes a difference. smile
    I experimented a bit with Overspeed Protection enabled and disabled, however i did not notice any difference in this regard, the multiplier still drops to 20 on high load for me.
    However this problem do not happen if i set multiplier to 20, it is only the 21 multiplier that have this issue.
    This is on a MSI X58 Eclipse SLI Motherboard + i7 920 D0 stepping + 6gb GSKILL Trident 16000 CL9 RAM.
    Quote
    BTW. I've read of a couple of cases where DO stepping 920's getting 22x with Turbo enabled but I'll remain skeptical regarding the validity.
    Maybe it is just earlier version of cpu-z mis-reporting multiplier?

Maybe you are looking for
